I would appreciate a recipe for pickled herring, I have recently acquired a taste for them. I am sure that home made is better than store bought !

There are plenty of them out there , almost any good white fish can be Pickled
here is one of my favorites, I have used it & it is good, I found it via Google search

Spicy pickled fish
2 to 3 pounds previously frozen fish, thawed (any kind
of white or light fleshed fish fillets, head, tail, and skin removed and cut
into one-inch pieces) Whitefish, perch, bass, catfish, walleye, suckers can be
used. Lake trout is good pickled and even though other trout is usually pinker
or redder fleshed, they can also be used in this recipe.
8 cups of white
vinegar
1 cup pickling salt
3 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 cup red
wine
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup mixed pickling spice
3 whole bay leaves

1 tablespoon hot crushed chilies
3 whole cloves of garlic (if desired)

In a glass bowl, combine 4 cups of vinegar and the salt and stir until
dissolved. Submerge the prepared fish. Cover and put in fridge for at least 24
hours or up to three days. Remove from fridge, drain, and discard liquid. Rinse
fish well under cold running water.














Put the fish chunks into an earthen crock or jars, layering with onion rings.
In a saucepan, bring the remaining vinegar, wine, sugar, spices, and garlic to a
boil. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Let simmer 5 minutes.

Pour a bit of boiling pickling liquid over the fish, enough to take chill out
of crock. Slowly add remaining liquid. Put a lid on the crock or seal jars and
cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least five days before serving.
Store under refrigeration for no longer than a month.

Serve pickled fish as an appetizer accompanied with thin slices of black
bread, sour cream, and pickled baby onions. A glass of white wine and you’ve got
it made.
